Hello Net,
we have some problems using macros in MIT Scheme. 
Could someone help us?

1. We're using MIT Scheme Release 7.0.0 (beta), Microcode 10.86
   The documentation is DRAFT: June 28, 1989.
2. The documentation we have says nothing about macros, but a
   special form "macro" with lambda-like syntax exists. Amazingly it 
   seems to be really identical to lambda, e.g. it evaluates its 
   parameters and simply returns the result of its computations.

Questions:
1. What's MIT Schemes latest release and where can we get it?
   Is better Documentation available?
2. Has MIT Scheme macros? How can we use them?

Any help will be appreciated,
--Kai
